What’s A’ the Steer, Kimmer?
What’s a’ the steer?
An’, faith, he’ll soon be here.
The win’ was at his back, carle,
The win’ was at his back;
I carena, sin’ he’s come, carle,
We were na worth a plack.
I’m right glad to hear ’t;
I ha’e a gude braid claymore,
And for his sake I’ll wear ’t.
We ha’e nae mair to fear;
Sin’ Charlie he is come, kimmer,
We’ll ha’e a jub’lee year.
